Hi guys
If i buy a microsoft OEM version of XP Home ,can i transfer it from
one pc to another like i would be able to do with a upgrade copy.
I want to install xp on my daughters pc now but in the near future
she wants to build a new pc.
So can we transfer the oem copy to the new home built pc.She has
home built pc now,wants a bigger one.
Thanks

It will be technically possible to install your OEM version of
Windows XP on your daughters next computer, but it is not permitted
by the EULA. It would be like continuing to use an unlicensed
version of Winzip beyond the trial period or using the free edition
of Avast Antivirus in a corporate environment; possible, but not
permissible.

However, the story is entirely different with your Upgrade version,
which is transferrable to the new machine.

As long as you have the qualifying media. Many Major OEM restore disks
cannot be used as qualifying media.
